Glen,
The TiVo wasn't having problems connecting to the network, I could
always connect to TiVo and download the program material.
The issue turned out to be the my FIOS router (an Actiontec). All I
needed to do was reboot the router and the problem cleared up. There
have been many criticisms if the Actiontec router supplied by FIOS
because of the small NAT table that it has.
